An American woman connected to a bank incident faced prison after an attack that involved a Molotov cocktail. The event was reported by the New York Post and sparked a wide debate about security and handling of long lines at banks.
Terani Mille became involved in a confrontation with a Bank of America branch manager while waiting in a lengthy queue. When told that staff were momentarily unavailable due to a high workload, the woman allegedly escalated the situation, shouting that she intended to explode. Bank employees immediately called for police assistance, but prior to their arrival, Mille allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail, starting a fire inside the premises.
Following the initial incident, Mille reportedly harassed another person at the bank’s parking lot exit and damaged a vehicle by throwing a glass bottle. Law enforcement responded after Mille had already left the scene; however, investigators were able to identify her and locate her location using surveillance footage.
Eventually, the suspect was apprehended and pleaded guilty to possession of illegal weapons and explosives. The court sentenced her to two years in prison for those offenses, reflecting the seriousness of the charges and the threat posed to bystanders and bank staff.
In a separate and unrelated account cited in early reports, there were references to another American individual and personal disputes involving a sister and acts described as revenge or arson. These details appeared in some coverage but were not proven to be connected to Mille’s case and were treated as separate incidents by authorities and outlets.
